Clean Air For Salons

The air quality in nail and beauty salons often suffer because of the chemicals that off gas from many salon products.

Nail polish, adhesives, and hardener are just a few of many products that off gas volatile organic chemicals (VOCs) into the air.

Beauty salon products include perms, hair dyes, and other treatments that off gas ammonia, formaldehyde and other potent chemicals. As one stylist described her reaction to the fumes, “My eyes started to burn and water as if I had just peeled an onion”.

In many salons clients are wearing gas masks as various treatments are performed. And that’s a great solution for the client as long as they are wearing it. But the fumes that evaporate into the air take a while to dissipate, so others in the salon (especially the stylists) are being exposed to these fumes each time these treatments are done.

A more continuous solution for the continual problem is to remove airborne chemicals by filtering the air 24 hours a day. This reduces the amount of VOCs in the air and makes the air healthier for everyone to breathe each time they are in your salon.

PurerAir.com offers a heavy duty portable air purifier specifically designed to remove the harsh chemicals that go airborne in salons.

Avoiding Paint Fumes

If your body reacts badly to paint fumes, it can be misery to have to breathe the air in an office, apartment, or home while waiting for the fumes to go away.

For those of us who are sensitive to these airborne chemicals, 5 minutes is enough to develop a headache, dry throat, and a general feeling of unease. Here are 3 ways to minimize your exposure to these fumes.

1. Use low VOC (volatile organic chemical) paint. Yes, it costs slightly more, but the fact that it can be used with very little smell involved makes it worth the extra cost.

2. Ventilate the room as it is being painted. Weather permitting, open the window and put a box fan in. Turn it so that it is blowing air out the window as it takes the air out of the room being painted. This is a cheap, no-frills way to exhaust any fumes and will also help the paint to dry faster.

3. Use a chemical air purifier to eliminate the fumes. If you’ve not been the decision maker about the paint, and regular latex paint or even oil paint has been used, you will need to use a chemical air purifier to eliminate the fumes.

Some people can’t smell the fumes, particularly after several hours. But if you are sensitive to them, you will probably be able to smell them for days.

Using an air purifier that is specifically designed to remove paint fumes and other chemical fumes can boost your air quality and your quality of life.

Effective Airborne VOC Removal

Studies have shown that prolonged exposure to VOCs or volatile organic chemicals is harmful to your health and in some cases fatal. Many products used in our world today off gas these harmful chemicals. And they come from all sorts of products.

New carpet, paint, varnish, some new furniture, adhesives, cleaning products, nail and beauty salon products, artists’ supplies all have the potential to wreak havoc with indoor air quality, particularly if the space is not properly ventilated.

Often proper ventilation is impossible which leaves people and their pets, and more specifically, you and your family vulnerable to the side effects (both short and long term) that these chemicals can cause.

PurerAir.com offers a chemical air purifier that is specifically designed to remove airborne chemicals 24 hours a day every day. Effective in nail and beauty salons, wood working shops, artists’ studios and more, we continue to send this air cleaner across the United States and beyond.
